Middleton-Burney was 1.32 students over mandated 18-student cap in October BY ASIA AIKINS Palatka Daily News State Department of Education offi- cials will determine this week if area schools are in compliance with state class size standards. Middleton-Burney Elementary School in Crescent City was found out of compliance with state class size standards during an October survey, as the average pre-kindergarten through third-grade class size was 1.32 students over the 18-student cap. “A lot of times, for instance, you’ll have 16 in a class and then you’ll get a family of triplets later in the year. Then, you have 19,” said Helen Muir, district assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction. “When that happens, several classes are over by just one or two children.” The district school board responded to the problem last week, approving a class size reduction compliance plan CHRIS DEVITTO/Palatka Daily News as outlined by state statutes. The plan Shirley Griffin, Jim Griffin, Joe Svingala, Joyce Svingala, Lynda Lindswiler, Pat Bergquist and Pomona Park Mayor John Bergquist Jr. are includes weekly enrollment counts in celebrating the 13th year of the Pomona Park Neighborhood Watch program. classes throughout the district begin- ning at the start of the 2016-2017 the Neighborhood Watch program Pomona Park Community Center. school year.

  • Fishing Opportunities on the Ocala National Forest
    FISHING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE OCALA NATIONAL FOREST 1996, 1998, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2018 INTRODUCTION The Ocala National Forest, one of the oldest national forest east of the Mississippi River and southernmost in the continental United States, was established in 1908. The Scenic 387,000-acre National Forest, located in the central trail ridge region of peninsular Florida, is bordered by two prominent rivers, the Ocklawaha River on the western boundary, and the larger St. John’s River on the eastern boundary of the national forest. Within the boundaries of the Ocala National Forest there are about 23 small streams created by a number of springs. The most important springs are Salt, Silver Glen, Juniper, and Alexander. In addition, there are approximately 600 natural lakes in the forest. Most of these are seepage lakes formed by solution depressions. Since these lakes have no significant surface inflow or outfall, water quality is influenced by direct precipitation and soil characteristics of the immediate watershed. The majority of these water bodies are therefore very acidic, poorly buffered, and low in nutrient concentration and productivity. However, forest lakes have historically been recognized as habitat for prime trophy largemouth bass, with bass larger than 10 pounds having been taken from most, if not all, of these lakes. Other sport fish species, including bluegill, red-ear, warmouth, black crappie, catfish, and sunshine bass, are popular with the local anglers. Most anglers fish from boats, but there are opportunities for shoreline, bank or wade fishing. Because access is limited and often difficult, fishing piers have been constructed on several popular lakes.
